Earlier today, 10:05 AM, the American singer made the announcement of the cancellation of the Manila concert on Facebook and cited the extrajudicial killings as the reason behind the move.

“I offer my heartfelt apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause my Filipino friends but I must now announce that I will not be performing in Manila this February. All tickets sold will, of course, be fully refunded. I am grateful to my promoter, Renen de Guia, for his patience and understanding,” the American singer wrote.

He is scheduled to perform in Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.

In another tweet, Sotto took a swipe at the American singer’s statement that “he loves the rule of law”….

A singer said he loves d rule of law, “kaya?” Or he loves d lure of drugs?
